David Vitter The Wrong Person To Show Outrage At ACORN Prostitution Scandal

DC Madam client and Louisiana Senator David Vitter is busy putting out press releases to urge a cessation of funding to ACORN.

After months of beating the drum and continued news reports of criminal investigations, the president and his administration are finally starting to distance themselves from ACORN. The Census dropping ACORN as a partner is a good, common sense move. Now we must go one step further and support my simple and direct amendment, which declares that no federal funds should go ACORN.

Think Progress notes the hypocrisy of someone who not only missed the vote when it came up for federal funding but acknowledged “very serious sin.”

A woman accused of running a Washington prostitution ring placed five phone calls to David Vitter while he was a House member, including two while roll call votes were under way, according to telephone and congressional records.

Vitter, a Louisiana Republican now in the Senate, acknowledged Monday that his number was on the woman’s call list and apologized for a “very serious sin.”
